I graduated after five years. I have never in my life met anyone
who graduated from engineering at UW-Madison in four years - I had
a friend who did it in four and half, and he took summer school.

In fact, the graduation requirements handbook they gave us EE majors
had an example schedule for some mythical student who graduated in
four years. One year I actually went through it and found out that
it was missing some requirements and wouldn't actually qualify for
graduation.

And actually, I started my Senior ][+ year in August of 1993, but I evidently
didn't take any photos during the first semester..

The apartment at Basset Street,
where I lived during year five. I loved that apartment. Those are my windows overlooking the downstairs front porch. ( comments)

One of my senior projects
was a team project to design a CPU and test it with Xilinx chips. We invented the "Baba XMS" chip, and one day I doodled the layout on an Etch-A-Sketch. I managed to carefully scan it (on an upside down scanner), and this became our cover page. ( comments)

I had the damage waiver on the car,
so I went up into the mountains a ways and pushed the car a bit to it's limits. I didn't have any problems, so I didn't get to exercise the damage waiver after all. ( comments)

On the way back I just pulled over
and scrambled up one of the mountains that contains Horsetooth and took a photo. The next mountain you see on the right is where I used to do some shorter cliff jumping, and is also where Maxmillion and Sagittarius were eventually buried. ( comments)
